The Verizon Messages+ app will keep you texts in sync across all devices. You can even send and receive over the web of you don't have a cell signal. This is about the only Verizon software I find useful.

+1 for VZW Messages+. Advantage over Moto Connect is it will work on any wifi/Internet connection - it doesn't require your phone be connected to the wifi. Open VZW M+ web page tab, pin it and you have browser-based messaging anywhere you have Internet connection. Tab even notifies on new messages. M+ app will also work on wifi-only tablets/devices without your phone present on the network.

Good grief. Can't believe this is becoming a pissing contest. Let me sum it all up for you tdizzel. Moto connect needs a cell signal on your phone and messages+ does not. If you never lose cell coverage use whichever one floats your boat. If you do go outside of cell coverage it's something to keep I mind.

My apologies. I didn't realize that pointing out how you are blatantly wrong meant entering into a pissing contest, that wasn't my intention. I guess some people don't like anyone showing they can ever be wrong, sorry i ruffled your feathers. I was only trying to provide the correct information that the phone didn't need to be on wifi for connect to work, because, you know, people were saying that it did (apparently you missed that part so i pointed it out-I like to be helpful).
And thanks for summing that up since i was not confused even in the slightest about it and never posted anything to the contrary.

Stick with the point of comparing what the best app for the user is. Quoting 3 different people to try and make me look bad isn't cool. I didn't write nor memorize everyone else comments. Keeping in tune he apps like I said if Moto works well for some people great. My point is 1) Moto needs to be connected to your phone and needs a cell signal to send and receive test messages.

I personally pick messages due to not needed to be connoted to my phone thinking it may make a difference in battery like. Also, the ability to send and receive even when out of cell range.

Once again i will apologize. Someone asked for advice and i didn't realize that pointing out misinformation was getting off topic, i simply wanted the OP to have the most accurate information to base his decision on.
I am also sorry for posting those quotes. Yes, it would be quite difficult to memorize everyone's comments and its unfair to have that expectation. And while i would never make a comment that "i don't think anyone said" something without actually seeing if anyone said it (that seems a little foolish to me) I'm sure you had your reasons for saying it and you were just looking to help out the OP and I'm sorry for bringing it up and if you feel it makes you look bad them you have my apologies for that as well.
So yes, let's just get back to helping the OP, and make sure he has the most correct information to help him.
